* This is not a remote position. We are looking for candidates who live close to the major airport.

* This is a heavy-travel position. You must be willing to fly out of state while K-12 schools are in session.

Are you a retiring or transitioning educator looking to use your teacher voice beyond the walls of the classroom. If this is your story, this per diem role allows you to stay connected to meaningful work that reaches millions of students nationwide. As a part-time Per-Diem Professional Learning, Educational Consultant (ELA), you'll travel across your assigned territory delivering high-quality professional development, coaching teachers and leaders, and helping schools use data to drive real student outcomes.

You'll become a product expert on i-Ready and other widely used core and supplemental programs, while working alongside a collaborative team of transitioned educators just like you. The schedule peaks August–October and January–March, giving you the flexibility you've earned — while letting you keep doing the work you love.

Per Diem consultants are scheduled on an as-needed basis, paid hourly. Schedule is highly dependent on customer demand – professional development is usually scheduled with partners during normal school hours. Our peak times of the year include August through October and then again January and February, although we deliver professional development throughout the school year.

Given the as-needed and heavily seasonal nature of this role, we do not recommend that you maintain a full-time role that operates during school hours, simultaneous with the Per Diem Educational Consultant role at Curriculum Associates.

We provide compensation for PD delivery, internal training, travel time, and travel expenses.
